Asus K52F

In Linux Mint 14, suspend and webcam working very good.
I recomend Linux Mint 14 for current notebook.

Functioneaza perfect, folosesc Ubuntu 12.10 pe x32 . problema cu camera ramine inca, la fel o arata cu josul in sus, dar usor se rezolva cu -
Intoarcere webcamera
1 - sudo apt-get install libv4l-0
2 - sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
3 - in ridul numarul 4, dupa cum urmeaza in doc deschis
4 - Exec=skype
reinscriem urmatorul:
4
Exec=bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype'
- problema detectarea castilor, paremise s'a rezolvat.

Hey Tartamas, hope everything is going well…

Please take this comment in consideration to solve the issue with the hibernate:

Suspend problem:

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd

- Put lines below to the file

#!/bin/sh
# File: ”/etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd”.
case “${1}” in

      hibernate|suspend)
            # Unbind ehci_hcd for first device 0000:00:1a.0:
             echo -n "0000:00:1a.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
            # Unbind ehci_hcd for second device 0000:00:1d.0:
             echo -n "0000:00:1d.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
      ;;
      resume|thaw)
            # Bind ehci_hcd for first device 0000:00:1a.0:
            echo -n "0000:00:1a.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
            # Bind ehci_hcd for second device 0000:00:1d.0:
            echo -n "0000:00:1d.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
      ;;

esac

- Save file and close editor

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd

Please let me know if it works, to assist you further…

Pura vida…!!!

When I want to hang-up or hibernate, it doesn't switch off and I can not restore it.

How did u guys got the boot from usb option in the Asus K52F? I just dont see that in the BIOS. Any help?

Well my computer was working perfectly with Linux Mint 10 (I never remember the distro's name). It was working smooth with MAC 4 Lin. I just got tired with the same presentation. I changed to Linux Mint 10 KDE graphic. At this moment keep working on some issues, like no sound, not from the headphone nor even the speakers. So as soon as I get this resolved I will post here again. Thanks for all the information it is very helpful.

NOTE: the laptop ASUS K52F is a perfect machine for this budget.

On Ubunutu 10.10 64bit I could resolve the headphone issue like this:

1. nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

2. add at end of file: “options snd-hda-intel model=hp-laptop”

3. reboot

As for the cam upside-down problem added, where the other definitions are, in the source of libv4l and recompiled the complete rpm:

lib/libv4lconvert/control/libv4lcontrol.c

      { 0x13d3, 0x5130, 0, "ASUSTeK Computer Inc.        ", "K52F",
              V4LCONTROL_HFLIPPED | V4LCONTROL_VFLIPPED }, 

Check with lsusb + dmidecode, there seem to be numerous different cams ASUS uses!

Now with things runs smooth on 64bit Fedora 14:

env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Dropped the maintainer a mail with the line.

Using the Germany Amazon supplied A52F with P6100 under 10.04.1 LTS, 2.6.32-27-generic shows only minor quirks:

NO Fan Control possible - and possibly never (BIOS not ACPI)! (currently not an issue, because up to 55 degree Celsius CPU temp it's fan is running with lowest speed and very quietly)

C3 & C4 states not supported - TLP author thinks some power reduction still possible. Currently maxes out at 12.5 W appx. 3.5 hours battery life in average browsing on WLAN b/g

Thanks for information!

A very interesting and thorough discussion of the current problems of the Aus k52 under Ubuntu, along with solutions for most of them.

Solved the headphones issue compiling and running the daemon in

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568&page=14

as superuser under Ubuntu 10.04.

(Use g++ instead of gcc).

Solved the “camera upside-down” problem by updating to the latest libv4l from PPA and calling e.g. Skype with

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Put this in a bash script called skypewrap.sh (or a symlink to it) somewhere in your $PATH and the problem disappears.

Hibernate and Sleep do not work

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS released, but hibernate/suspend still dosn't work. Everything else works fine what i think.
